Why Wrestlers Are The Best Employees

Steve Cooper of Forbes published an article earlier this week
explaining
why wrestlers make the best employees. With an intense amount
of dedication, consistent work ethic, and enormous competitive
drive, it makes sense that wrestlers would often go all out in
competitive situations.

“Wrestling, in particular, is thought to require more
individual commitment than most other sports due to the nature of
the training and competing itself. The logical inference, then,
is that with other sports, an athlete can go to practice or a
game, and then go home to relax. Wrestlers, due to the weight
class requirements, have to maintain their focus and drive around
the clock for years at a time,” says Mendelson, a former college
wrestler.

“In addition, wrestling is an individual sport and the
athlete experiences both failure and success as an individual. As
a result, the wrestler endures more physical, emotional, and
psychological stress, both positive and negative, than an athlete
in another sport.”

Cooper was a wrestler and explains that the enjoyment he gets
from meeting expectations leads him to encourage the success of
others, which is another great quality in the work place.
